Inference / Conclusion :
Initially, as the angle of incidence increases gradually, the angle of deviation decrc
after certain minimum value of incident angle, increases with the increase in the angle of money
Answers
If we gradually increase the angle of incidence the angle of deviation first decreases array of light passing through the prism course in this process there is a variation in angle of deviation with the angle of incidence
Answer:
The deviation produced by the prism depends on the following four factors:
(a)Angle of incidence - As the angle of incidence increases, first the angle of deviation decreases and reaches to a minimum value for a certain angle of incidence. By further increasing the angle of incidence, the angle of deviation is found to increase.
(b)Material of prism (i.e.,on refractive index) - For a given angle of incidence, the prism with a higher refractive index produces a greater deviation than the prism which has a lower refractive index.
(c)Angle of prism - Angle of deviation increases with the increase in the angle of prism.
(d) Colour or wavelength of light used- Angle of deviation increases with the decrease in wavelength of light.
